Disposable slips for microarrays and cell microscope slides are said to improve performance of different microarrays, require smaller sample volumes, and prevent contamination
Quantifoil Instruments has launched a novel disposable flow-chamber technology for microarrays and cell microscope slides (25x75mm or 1x3") - DiscoverSlips.
It says they improve performance of different microarrays, require smaller sample volumes and prevent contamination.
Designed without adhesives, DiscoverSlips will not leach into the hybridisation fluid during extended periods of hybridisation temperatures.
DiscoverSlips offer a simple solution to the problem of hybridisation non-uniformity.
An innovative formation of the reaction area on the glass surface provides separation and allows an even dispersal of hybridisation solutions between the glass slide and DiscoverSlip.
The injection port allows easy injection of hybridisation solutions under the pre-positioned DiscoverSlip.
DiscoverSlips increase data quality by eliminating gradients caused by floating.
Years of research experience have been put into the development of both the DiscoverSlip and its handling tool PalmHyb.
They are easy to use and generate the highest homogeneity of the hybridisation parameters, says Quantifoil.
